black tie done right

Let’s face facts ladies – sometimes the groom’s attire, the choosing of it, making sure it’s perfectly fit, is overshadowed by shopping for your own gown. Well, that’s not the case anymore with The Black Tux. The Black Tux is the new way to rent a tuxedo or suit and they’ve got everything for the groom and groomsmen PLUS they’re insanely stylish.

The Black Tux was founded by two longtime friends – Andrew and Patrick, who while preparing for Andrew’s wedding in 2011, saw a need to offer men an alternative to traditional tuxedo and suit rental outlets.

They improved the process, making it easy and hassle free and The Black Tux was born! Traditionally, renting a tux requires three different trips to the store – one to place the order, another to pick up, and yet another to return the suit. With the Black Tux the order is shipped (anywhere in the US) right to your door, and you return it the same way with an included return label. And shipping is free – you can’t beat that!

Not only is the process better with The Black Tux, but the product is as well. The Black Tux has partnered with the world’s finest suit-makers in the world and offers classic and slim fits, Merino Wool options sourced exclusively from the famous Tollegno mill in Italy, cotton shirts, leather shoes, and a range of curated fashions.

You can shop their stylist-approved looks, or build your own custom look from scratch. After that, simply submit your measurements to The Black Tux’s Fit Specialists and they’ll let you know if anything looks off. After that your suit is shipped a week ahead of time, which gives you enough time to try it on and if something isn’t quite right – The Black Tux will take care of it in time for your event.
